DG3595 STATION DESCRIPTION
DG3595
DG3595'DESCRIBED BY COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY 1886 (OHT)
DG3595'STATION IS ON THE HIGHEST PART OF THE MOUNTAINS AMONG ROCKY
DG3595'OUTCROPPINGS, ABOUT 9 MILES S OF OXFORD. THERE IS A PRECIPITOUS
DG3595'BLUFF ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN KNOWN AS THE PULPIT.
DG3595'THE STATION IS ON A TURNING POINT OF THE BOUNDARY LINE BETWEEN
DG3595'TALLADEGA AND CLAY COUNTIES.
DG3595'
DG3595'THE STATION WAS MARKED BY A CROSS CUT ON A STONE BURIED ABOUT
DG3595'1 FOOT BELOW THE SURFACE IN A CLEFT BETWEEN THE LEDGES. ANOTHER
DG3595'STONE WITH A CROSS CUT ON TOP WAS SET OVER THIS AND PROJECTS 1
DG3595'FOOT ABOVE THE SURFACE. TO THE EASTWARD AND SOUTHWARD SHALLOW
DG3595'HOLES WERE DRILLED INTO THE CENTERS OF TRIANGLES CUT INTO
DG3595'OUTCROPPING ROCKS. THE S MARK BEARS S 30-1/2 DEG. W AND IS
DG3595'DISTANT FROM THE CENTER OF THE STATION 4.17 FEET (1.27 METERS).
DG3595'THE E MARK BEARS N 101-1/2 DEG. E AND IS DISTANT FROM THE
DG3595'CENTER OF THE STATION 5.48 FEET (1.67 METERS).

DG3595 STATION RECOVERY (1941)
DG3595
DG3595'RECOVERY NOTE BY COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY 1941 (GWL)
DG3595'THE OLD STATION COULD NOT BE RECOVERED BECAUSE A LOOKOUT TOWER
DG3595'HAS BEEN BUILT OVER THE SITE OF THE STATION. THE ENGINEER IN
DG3595'CHARGE OF CONSTRUCTING THE LOOKOUT TOWER WAS CONTACTED AND HE SAID
DG3595'THAT HE RECOVERED THE OLD SURFACE AND UNDERGROUND MARKS (CROSSES
DG3595'CUT IN ROCKS) AT THE TIME THE TOWER WAS BUILT AND THAT HE PLUMBED
DG3595'IN A POINT OVER THE OLD UNDERGROUND MARK AND MARKED IT IN THE
DG3595'CONCRETE FLOOR OF THE TOWER BY A CROSS. THE POSITION OF THIS
DG3595'CROSS WAS COMPUTED AND IT IS BELIEVED THAT IT IS DIRECTLY OVER
DG3595'THE OLD STATION.
DG3595'
DG3595'THE STATION IS NOW MARKED BY A CROSS IN THE CENTER OF THE
DG3595'CONCRETE FLOOR OF THE LOOKOUT TOWER AT THE GROUND LEVEL. THE
DG3595'LOOKOUT TOWER IS OF STONE AND CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION ABOUT 50
DG3595'FEET HIGH AND HAS A GLASSED-IN OBSERVATION ROOM AT THE TOP. IT IS
DG3595'LOCATED ON THE HIGHEST PART OF CHEAHA MOUNTAIN (THE HIGHEST POINT
DG3595'IN ALABAMA) IN CHEAHA STATE PARK AND IS ABOUT 9 MILES S OF
DG3595'OXFORD.
DG3595'
DG3595'LOCAL INQUIRY WILL DISCLOSE THE BEST ROUTE TO THE STATION.
DG3595'
DG3595'CHEEHAHAW 2 WAS ESTABLISHED 47.71 FEET SE OF THIS STATION.

DG3595 STATION RECOVERY (1971)
DG3595
DG3595'RECOVERY NOTE BY US ENGINEERS 1971
DG3595'THE STATION MARK IS IN GOOD CONDITION. IT IS LOCATED ON THE CONCRETE
DG3595'FLOOR OF THE LOOKOUT TOWER IN CHEAHA STATE PARK.
